Was thought singer told Brown off for refusing to stand for Frank Ocean, but she denies it

Chris Brown made a very public statement about his feelings for fellow R&B singer Frank Ocean during the Grammy Awards on Sunday (10 February) by refusing to join in on a standing ovation when Ocean took to the stage to receive one of the two awards he won that night.

A photo, in which is appears as though Adele is giving Brown a piece of her mind for his rudeness, quickly went viral as did the story of a sharp tongue-lashing.

Frank Ocean, the openly gay R&B star nominated for six Grammys this year, claims he was punched by fellow R&B star Chris Brown in the parking lot of a recording studio in West Hollywood on Sunday (27 January).

The altercation was apparently over a parking spot.

Ocean took to Twitter after the altercation and tweeted: 'got jumped by chris and a couple guys. lol. i only wish everest was there...cut my finger now I can't play w two hands at the grammys.'

Gay Star News loved this video so much last year that we decided to release it this Christmas as well.

The HMS Ocean battleship’s camp mime-along to Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas became a YouTube hit.

And gay celebrities got in on the excitement, with Lord of the Rings star Sir Ian McKellen sharing it with Anthony Cotton – from long-running TV soap Coronation Street and the original UK Queer As Folk.

‘It was glorious and made me laugh and cry with joy,’ said Cotton, who put the link out via Twitter.

Ellen DeGeneres, Rachel Maddow and Janis Ian all nominated in Best Spoken Word Album category

R&B and Hip-Hop singer Frank Ocean may have got the most attention of the openly gay Grammy nominees announced on Thursday (5 November) evening.

But he's not the only LGBT nominee this year.

Gay musician Dave Koz was nominated in the Best Pop Instrumental Album for his Live at the Blue Note Tokyo album and bisexual actress and comedienne Margaret Cho is a nominee in the Best Comedy Album category for Cho Dependent: Live in Concert.
